Eco architecture, or green architecture, is an approach to building that minimizes harmful effects on human health and the environment. The "green" architect attempts to safeguard air, water, and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices. Green architecture may have many of these characteristics: • Ventilation systems designed for . efficient heating and cooling; • Energy-efficient lighting and appliances; • Water-saving plumbing fixtures; • Landscapes planned to maximize passive solar energy; • Minimal harm to the natural habitat; • Alternate power sources such as solar power or wind power; • Non-toxic materials; • Locally-obtained woods and stone.

History of eco-architecture: • Founder of Eco-architecture But others refute this, noting sustainable architecture has been around forever. Or, at the very least, its principles are ancient. Just think of the famous Roman aqueducts, many of which are still used today. The gravity-driven structures not only distributed water and took away waste, but provided renewable water power for mines, forges and mills. And when the ancient Greeks began running low on fuel sources, they began positioning buildings and even entire cities to catch the sun's rays. Many say the pioneer of green design was Frank Lloyd Wright, whose innovative organic architecture philosophy focused on creating structures that appeared to be part of their surroundings. Organic architecture strives to integrate space into a unified whole. Frank Lloyd Wright was not concerned with architectural style, because he believed that every building should grow naturally from its environment. • Historical samples

Advantages of eco-architecture: • Eco-architecture looks great 1. The use of natural materials 2. Re-use of old materials 3. Modification of home systems • Cost it saves much more money from the moment of creating during its lifetime • Energy efficiency It has a great advantage of reducing both embodied and operating energy consumption. • Material efficiency lumber, bamboo, straw, recycled metal/stone, sheep wool, compressed earth block, concrete, cork etc. • Indoor environment quality green building create healthier atmosphere. • Maintenance It need less maintenance

Disadvantages of eco-architecture: • Air-cooling features natural ventilation cannot be regulated • Location It is affected by the land’s humidity, the circumstance of the surrounding area. • Availability of materials Green buildings require special materials. • Time To build a green building in some cases takes more time than an ordinary one. • Green roofs are heavier than simple once • Cost You need to invest a lot of money • Low indoor quality isolation may cause indoor pollution

Architecture of the Future…

The beauty, grace and purity of wilderness …
